When must MV dealers post a clear legible sign at their place of business?

The requirement for motor vehicle dealers to post a clear legible sign at their place of business is essential for transparency and accessibility to consumers. When a dealership is open for less than 40 hours per week, this regulation ensures that potential customers are made aware of the limited hours. It helps avoid confusion and frustration for those who may want to visit the dealership, ensuring that they know when they can expect the business to be open. This practice reinforces customer service standards and is a best practice that supports the legitimacy and professionalism of the dealership in the community.

For the other situations mentioned, such as being located in a busy area, receiving a complaint, or being newly established, although they could benefit from clear signage, they do not specifically trigger a regulatory requirement for posting a sign. The need for clear signage primarily hinges on the operational hours to prevent misunderstandings about availability.
